    brave also used it to scam people by taking tips for creators who weren't on the platform. if the creator never signed up, they kept that money.

    and they had an adblocker that replaced ads with their own, making the browser money instead of the site.

    they have actively contributed to making the web worse. saying "at least they're doing something" is like praising the hard work and entrepreneurial spirit of a mugger.

    according to the Swedish dictionary, a "stuff" is a drill core, or other piece of rock that's used in lab tests. so "kalkstuff" is a piece of limestone. google translate has no clue in this case.

    In north america, yes. i have municipal water, i've stayed in hotels all over europe, and i've never had the feeling of drowning in a pool when drinking tap water before going over there. the worst thing i've encountered in europe is filtered tap water, which tastes like charcoal but is drinkable. the chlorinated water just made my throat close instinctively.

    everything is chlorinated. i get painful rash if i ingest chlorinated water, so basically everything was undrinkable. this was also true for soft drinks the time i visited Vegas, so my options for hydration were extremely limited.

    this is more focused for sure, but it lacks the enthusiasm of the original. if i was trying to do this for work, i would appreciate how quickly it gets to the point. however, it no longer reads like this is something you're interested in. it reads a bit wooden. i get that would happen after you've been told to correct your style though.

    to be clear, the original article doesn't need to be rewritten. for the future though, when you want to tell the story of how you got something working, include your reasons for doing something a certain way. if you need a self-inflicted complication, that's not really a part of it (unless it's funny)

    my index hurts my eyes, even with corrective lenses, which stresses me out. i dunno, maybe there's something about having big lamps 2cm in front of your eyeballs.

    chicken, peanuts, curry powder, banana. no pineapple.

    that or the classic lyxkebabpizza (with fries), or maybe a good calskrove.

    your writing overall is good! it's just a matter of information priority.

    here's a tip, dunno how applicable it is but i use it when writing technical documentation:

    for each step, explain to yourself why you're doing it the way you are. if it turns out you caused the step to be needed, rather than it being required, you probably need to rethink, or at least add the explanation to the text.

    now i'm trying to figure out what eesti/deutsch/svenska pidgin would sound like.

    the closest I'm getting is finland-danish.

    no ü or double-k in swedish. "Helvetesskållat" would be a direct translation, but i personally prefer the simpler "AJSOMFAN"

    this guide, and the previous one, have a lot of weird superfluous steps. like, why use a command that includes nvim and then ask people to change it instead of just saying "edit the file"? why symlink systemd stuff to your own home directory?

    the info is good, but having to separate the actually useful stuff from things that are specific to your config makes it less useful.

    that requires specialized equipment other than the battery. you need to generate AC from the DC of the panels and battery, and the easiest way to do that at the right frequency and phase is to follow the grid. that's why most solar installations stop providing power without a grid connection; you need a wave to sync with.

    if you want to be truly independent you need your own wave forming equipment. and not the cheap stuff either, like the 12V inverters for cars that give out square waves. that's fine for like a drill, but plug a computer into that and there's a chance it fries. it won't charge, at least not for long.

    also you need extra safeguards to not fry electrical workers when they disable the grid and your power comes flowing the other way.

    I also have this worry constantly, but i've learned that there are different sorts of silences. just because it's silent doesn't mean it's awkward. most people don't care if you mess up in casual conversation.

  • I have two monitors, one 1440x3440 and one 1080x1920 to its right. Every boot, the desktop on my left monitor moves over and displays on top of the right one. Killing and restarting plasmashell moves it to where it should be, but i'd love to fix this without adding that to my .xsession. Thing is, i'm not versed enough in the KDE internals to know where this issue even stems from. I'm running EndeavourOS with Plasma 6.1.5 on X11. I haven't tried wayland since Plasma 6 switched to it and then promptly flickered itself into a crash. **Edit:** This machine runs the amdgpu-pro driver, and has done since before plasma 6 released. i didn't have this problem on plasma 5.
